Planting & Care
Planting & Care
Soil & Water: This slow germinator needs rich, evenly moist soil to get started.
Planting & Growing: Germinate outdoors under row cover to discourage birds. Direct sow 4-6 weeks before last frost, then again in late summer for winter harvest. A good growing choice for winter greens in a greenhouse or under row cover. Plant new seeds every two weeks for a continuous harvest. Thin seedlings to 3" apart when they are large enough to handle easily.
Harvesting & Storage: Cut the whole head of mâche when it is 2"-3" tall
